Hi @SAM

May I ask how did you add the exception for Exchange and autodiscover?
Did you add the ip addresses like 10.x.x in the screenshot of Exchange server?

If it is the case, please change it to the urls instead.
For example, autodiscover.contoso.com and mail.contoso.com, which were setup in the DNS.

Hi,
Thanks for the update!

Please run a Test E-mail Autoconfiguration via Outlook and post the results under the Log tag.
(Don't forget to hide your personal information for security)

Since you cannot connect to the Exchange mailbox, you may selecting "create a profile without a mailbox" when configuring the profile or connect Outlook to another email service(outlook.com or gmail for exmaple), then run the test.

Hi @SAM

Thanks for your update.

Below are some test steps in my lab:
(Please note that there isn't any actual proxy application or service running on the localhost and listening on port 1080,so all requests would fail if they go through the proxy)

1.set proxy settings without exceptions
Outlook fails to connect.

2.set proxy settings and add Exchange hostname and autodiscover to exceptions
Outlook can connect to Exchange without problem.

To me it seems this issue is more related to windows proxy settings, and I would add the corresponding tag to it.
